10 Reasons Israel Is Not An 'Apartheid' State
Of course Israel is an apartheid state. The Hasbara produced propaganda conveniently forgets the at least 50 discriminatory laws against non-Jews, including religion/ethnic based classification of people within Israel, not to mention the "Law of Return" which only benefits those practicing Judaism.
More importantly it ignores the Israeli "Bantustans" (the occupied territories) which are controlled by Israel and wherein Jews are separated and have civil rights, while the non-Jews are separated from Jews by walls or militarized separation zones. Israel is an analog of Apartheid South Africa.
As a religious-colonial-settler state, Israel is a country that was built to the needs and whims of Europeans that practiced Judaism, in much the same way European Christian nationalism was used to shape apartheid South Africa.
Not to mention bantustans inside Israel like Rahat and Nazareth.
But you have never been to Israel.
Hearsay is not the same as Eyewitness.
No one forced the Muslims and Christians into Nazareth.
They have been there for centuries due to Christian and Muslim beliefs.
And Nazareth is still a city with high tourism.
No one is kept prisoner or not allowed to go in or out.
Nazareth - Wikipedia
In March 2010, the Israeli government approved a $3 million plan to develop Nazareth's tourism industry. New businesses receive start-up grants of up to 30 percent of their initial investment from the
Ministry of Tourism.

Rahat (
Hebrew: רַהַט,
Arabic: رهط) is a predominantly
Bedouin city in the
Southern District of
Israel. In 2015 it had a population of 62,415. As such, it is the largest Bedouin settlement in the world, and the only one in Israel to have
city status.

You clearly do not know how non Jewish communities work in Israel.
Druze, Bedouins and other Arab communities have remained in the cities they populated. They are not forced into being together. They are together because they are a community.
No one forced the Japanese into Little Tokyo.
Or the Chinese into Chinatown.
Or the Italians into Little Italy.
They moved where their communities were without being forced into it.
